BTN Challenges 1,500 Innovators to Create Breakthroughs via BTN Housingpreneur Batch 3
Jakarta (ANTARA) – PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk (BTN) is once again hosting the BTN Housingpreneur Batch 3 competition, with registration officially open from 28 September to 30 November 2026. This initiative is designed to support entrepreneurship within the housing sector, involving students, the general public, developers, and business players within the housing ecosystem.
BTN Corporate Secretary Ramon Armando stated that the primary motivation behind BTN Housingpreneur stems from the increasingly diverse challenges in meeting housing needs, which require innovation across the entire industry supply chain.
“The issues within the housing ecosystem today are becoming increasingly diverse and dynamic. Therefore, BTN wants to establish BTN Housingpreneur as a space for the birth of ideas, innovations, and new business models capable of providing real solutions. We invite innovators to view every housing challenge as a significant opportunity to be explored and developed,” said Ramon.
In this year’s competition, participants can compete through two main categories: Design & Architecture and Housing Related Innovation. The registration series commenced with a Kick-Off event at the University of Indonesia, featuring musician Sal Priadi, and will continue with roadshows to several universities, including Sriwijaya University, Bandung Institute of Technology, Diponegoro University, and Udayana University in Bali.
Ramon explained that the roadshows to various universities aim to expand the programme’s reach while uncovering innovative potential from different regions.
“BTN wants to reach as many talents and innovators from various backgrounds as possible. Through this series of roadshows, we hope to find fresh ideas that are not only creative but also relevant to community needs and possess the potential for implementation within the housing ecosystem,” Ramon added.
Following the close of registration, the competition will enter the judging phase, culminating in the BTN Expo in early 2027. In addition to total prizes worth billions of rupiah, BTN Housingpreneur Batch 3 also provides access to business incubation and business matching for participants, ensuring that the ideas generated can be implemented as real solutions for the national housing ecosystem.
“BTN Housingpreneur is not merely a competition, but a platform for innovators from both academia and professional sectors to increase capacity, expand networks, and take their ideas to the next level. We want the best ideas born from this programme to have the opportunity to be realised and provide a tangible impact on the progress of Indonesia’s housing ecosystem,” Ramon concluded.
